Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) can expose features of a generative model without predefined labels, but in language models the evidence used to interpret these features has proven an unreliable guide to which of them steer the output. Whether interpretations of SAE features predict control in music generators has not, to o...
Vision language models (VLMs) have been increasingly adopted in consumer smart-home camera systems to interpret recorded videos and provide insights. However, video clips captured from smart-home cameras are different from curated web videos dominating existing VLM benchmarks. Smart-home video clips often do not contai...

Deepfakes increasingly undermine trust in digital media, yet existing detectors often struggle to generalize across unseen manipulation techniques, compression levels, and dataset shifts. Most approaches rely on RGB appearance, frequency-domain artifacts, or their combination, learning cues present in the final synthes...

Agentic AI systems using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) are vulnerable to indirect prompt injection through untrusted tool outputs. We demonstrate cross-modal trust laundering, in which instructions concealed in an email-signature image using least-significant-bit (LSB), discrete cosine transform (DCT), or metadata s...

Recent work from Anthropic introduced a new interpretability tool, called the Jacobian lens (J-lens, Gurnee et al., 2026). This method identified linear directions in the hidden states of frontier language models that had properties reminiscent of working memory-like representations. However, it is unclear what mechani...

In neural networks, continual learning (CL) is a prominent approach for enabling deployed systems to adapt to dynamic operational environments by effectively learning from new unseen data at runtime. Recently, the neuromorphic continual learning (NCL) concept has emerged as an energy-efficient alternative to CL by leve...

This report introduces Kolibri, an English-German mixture-of-experts transformer with 78.1B total parameters and 3.46B active parameters per token, released as open weights under the Apache 2.0 licence. We built Kolibri for sovereign and specialised deployment, with a particular focus on German and on regulated domains...

Continual learning (CL) in neural networks is a promising learning approach for updating the knowledge of deployed systems based on new data encountered at run time, that have not been learned during the offline training phase. To enable their power/energy-efficient CL processing, neuromorphic continual learning (NCL)...
Scaling laws continue to reward increases in model scale, while the resulting computational and memory demands drive greater reliance on cloud infrastructure for inference. Yet unreliable network connectivity, communication delays, and privacy requirements can make such reliance impractical, motivating local execution...

Coding agents are trained to complete tasks, and they keep trying even when the environment makes completion impossible. The evidence that only outside help can restore progress usually appears within a few steps, yet agents rarely act on it: they over-persist, attempt undesired workarounds, and claim success the recor...

While animals and people tend to learn a task more quickly and reliably when they first train on simpler versions of it, curriculum learning's effectiveness in artificial settings varies, and appears substantially greater in reinforcement learning than in supervised learning. In this work, we construct and analyze a mi...

The Yangtze River Basin is a critical region for freshwater biodiversity conservation. The implementation of the Yangtze River Ten-Year Fishing Ban has increased the importance of effective aquatic biodiversity monitoring and species-level identification. However, fine-grained identification of closely related freshwat...
